Adele was a generous and compassionate leader who championed a vast range of civic causes and concerns.

Adele was a gentle leader who could zero in on what was important and what was needed, then quickly rally a team of supporters to join her in the cause. Always humbled by what was accomplished, she gave all the credit to those who helped, often saying they were the wind beneath her wings.

You may have not have personally experienced her warm smile or boundless energy, but as a citizen of this community, you most likely have been touched by her kindness and giving spirit through her work in the arts, education and health care.

As dedicated as Adele was to the people of Kansas City, the true hallmark of her success was the love she bestowed on her family and her fierce dedication and loyalty to her friends. Adele Hall was a blessing to Kansas City. She will be greatly missed by us all.
